GSEC › Malicious Code and Exploit Mitigation
This GSEC domain covers how malicious code executes and persists, and the controls that stop it. Expect scenario questions on Linux web shells, fileless malware in memory, application allowlisting, and Windows macro hardening, where you must pick the most effective detection or mitigation rather than a plausible-sounding but weaker control.
